Jurassic Park

Sam Neill, Laura Dern

Spielberg at his best. Neat concept (Michael Crichton), great effects, humor, fat villain, muddled scientist...every cliche ever used in 50's monster movies updated and brought to you in living color. The children-in-peril theme was brilliantly used to create tension.

The two-hour film raced by and even though I've seen this several times it still easily held me - a testament to his truly tapping the loves of our shared youth sitting in darkened theaters staring at a movie screen.

Wonderful, timeless junk.
